Abstract
Recent findings on two processes which affect the response of the fly motion-sensitive neuron 'H1' are discussed. One of these is a gain control mechanism with properties like light adaptation in photoreceptors. The second process is similar to after-image formation in humans in that it can mask the visibility of objects to H1. New results are presented showing that the second process operates at velocities creating temporal modulation of up to 4 Hz, and so must be considered along with the gain control in any description of H1's behavior.
